We are planning to establish a product database on wordpress via custom post types. and import those posts to discourse wia [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin.
Since each wp product page will have several custom fields, we would like to map them to discourse custom fields for each corresponding topic. How could that be achieved?

Hey @jrgong, how many products are in the database?

We will roll out slowly with 10-20 Test products and eventually it will be approx 500-1000.

You should handle this via a proper migration on the server.
I wouldn’t use [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse), or the Custom Wizard Plugin for this (which I know is also in the mix here). Any mixture of those solutions is going to be more trouble than it’s worth for a bulk operation like this, particularly one involving custom fields. You will spend more time and effort for a worse result trying to use the plugins for this.

Thx for the input, really appreciate it! Then we will K.I.S.S. instead and rather add WP Custom Fields to the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) post template 👍
